A bulldozer move dirt Friday as sitework begins for the 40,000-square-foot Hazel Hall on the Lord Fairfax Community College Fauquier Campus.
The building will feature classrooms, labs, offices and a conference center with banquet seating for 275 people. More than three years after the ceremonial groundbreaking, excavation equipment last week began moving dirt for construction of a science and technology building on the Fauquier campus of Lord Fairfax Community College.
Sitework began Thursday, April 1, for the $30-miliion Eleanor C. and William A. Hazel Hall, a two-story, 40,000-square-foot building.
Named for the late couple whose family in 2013 announced a $1-million donation to the project, Hazel Hall should be complete by the end of June next year, according to LFCC President Kim Blosser.

PAGE COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) Following months of conducting a study and brand research, Lord Fairfax Community College has decided to change its name after 50 years of serving the community.
Over the summer, every Virginia community college was asked by the State Board of Community Colleges to look at names with racist ties following mass protests across the country.
According to a release from the college, the name Lord Fairfax was chosen in 1969, a year before the college opened. The original college board chose the name in part for its link to the region’s colonial history.
